Former President Donald Trump was shot in the right ear during a campaign rally on Saturday, sparking panic and leading to dramatic scenes as his blood smeared across his face. Trump, who is running for the Republican presidential nomination, quickly emerged and rallied his supporters by mouthing 'Fight! Fight! Fight!'.

The Secret Service confirmed that the shooter was dead, along with one attendee, while two others were injured. The incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt, with Trump reporting, 'I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear,' on his Truth Social platform.
